    Default There Are 3 Ways the Shutdown Could End. They're All Unlikely Right Now

    As the partial government shutdown enters its third week, no one seems to have any answers on how it may end – even the people driving the negotiations.

    President Donald Trump remains dug in on his request for more than $5 billion for a wall along the Mexican border, while House Democrats maintain that they will not fund it. Without their support, he cannot go through the usual channels to ensure the funding becomes law.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has floated tentative compromises to no avail, suggested that the President temporarily re-open the government while lawmakers hash out negotiations, but the President did not like that idea. “That was a suggestion that Lindsey made but I did reject it yes. I’m not interested,” he said. “I want to get it solved. I don’t want to just delay it. I want to get it solved.”

    The shutdown should end in either Congress passing a budget with wall funding (Democrats cave) or Congress passing a veto-proof budget without wall funding (Republicans cave).

    If Trump signs anything without wall funding, it'll be a sad cave, even if Trump attempts to get the wall another way.

    Trump cannot admit defeat....it never happens with this psychopath

    the Congress will need to pass emergency veto-proof legislation, only way this ends

    Pelosi and Schumer cannot admit defeat.....it never happens with psychopaths like these.

    Ironic in that Pelosi and Schumer are falling on their swords over an issue that amounts to less than 1% of the Federal Budget.

    Here's a novel idea; force Pelosi and Schumer top stop playing hyper partisan political games with the people of this country and do their jobs. The wall is a trivial .69% of the entire Federal Budget.

    The ONLY thing they are accomplishing is making themselves look petty and stupid. The only reason they are doing it is because they don't want Trump to complete a campaign promise.

    What happens when a Democrat is in the White House and Republicans control the house? Is it going to be okay for them to hold a Presidents agenda hostage over trivial amounts of money?

    Trump will sell all of us out.

    The individual who so admires himself that he sacrifices all others to his own purposes, will come to a sad end. Therefore, we must learn to love ourselves correctly, with a love that is similar to what the parent feels for his child. The good parent does not dedicate himself to making life easy for his child, for he realizes that he loves his child best when he disciplines that child. And so it is with ourselves. Real love, in terms of our own nature and how we should help ourselves, is summed up in the concept that we must guide our own lives by an unselfish dedication to principles. ~ Manly P. Hall (As a Man Think in His Heart 1968, p.8)

    The only one's selling you out are the Democrats snowflake. You lack the IQ to comprehend the obvious.

    The people support the Democrats more and more each day. Trump cannot win.

    All Trump can do is hurt people.

    The individual who so admires himself that he sacrifices all others to his own purposes, will come to a sad end. Therefore, we must learn to love ourselves correctly, with a love that is similar to what the parent feels for his child. The good parent does not dedicate himself to making life easy for his child, for he realizes that he loves his child best when he disciplines that child. And so it is with ourselves.

    Democrats are so full of hatred that they're missing a golden opportunity to get Trump to sign anything they want, as long as there's also a few dimes for a wall.
